Enjoying the sunshine in Monte Carlo now. Arrived yesterday and here until we fly to Rome on Monday. After leaving the boat in Arles, we stopped for lunch in Cannes and passed thru Nice driving along the Promenade where many people lost their lives in July. Huge floral tributes along the Promenade. A very sad feeling throughout the area. Unbelievable scenery from Nice to Monaco. Huge mountain area and massive tunnels thru the mountains for all the traffic. And homes set on the side of massive steep mountains. And let's not get started on the height of the apartment buildings. All the flashy hotels and Casinos. Then of course there is all the luxury shops, boats and cars!!! OMG.... Can't believe the $$$/Euros here in this area. All the flash people strolling around or driving down the circuit of the Grand Prix which by the way, the hotel where we are is located on the hairpin turn of the race track circuit hence all the flash cars are showing off their driving skills at this point. Our tour director pointed out a 5 level Penthouse which sold for E350 million!!!! He also said the government take 20% tax from the owner when it is sold!!! Now that's a huge stamp duty cost! Anyway, just had a lovely lunch in the one the many restaurants and off for a stroll with the rich people. We are both very well and enjoying the trip. Love to everyone xxxx

Aaron Wow sounds impressive. Wish i could say "by the way, theres your villa for father's day Dad" but just can't stump up the cash sorry. Happy Father's Day dad. Enjoy the trip. We're having an alumni gathering bbq in the park today.
Annie Dad has thanks very much. He'll checking out some apartments for sale just in case you're more financial at Xmas!! xxx I bought the boys their first F1 cars but the exchange rate from Euro to $A isn't that great hence the size. xxx
Moet Hay Mum & Dad-sounds like lots of fun! Today's been warm and sunny-I had a nice sun bake earlier. I gotta go, its time to bark at the passing school kids with Curly. Miss & love you xx
